Pope,
She begs the pope to deal gently with

argues that many Of the churches have

A Lovesick Youth.

A young negro barber on West Com
merce street, is enamored of pretty ne
gro woman on South street, who is mar
ried, although her husband is out of
town. He wants her to get a divorce
and marry him. She will not consent
and yesterday he visited her at her
house and repeated his declarations of
love and persussions for her to adopt the
course proposed by him. She was OBJ
durate, until he, seeing a platter lying
near him, filled with rat poison,
seized 1t and attempted to eat it and
thus commit suicide. She, nearly fright
ened out of her wits, snatched the poi
son from him and threw 1t out in the
yard and then to pacify him, promised
she would get that divorce and marry
him.
Poor fellow, he's happy now, but ten
to one she won't fulfill her promise.

Farmers Should Not Despair.

Editor LIGHT:
The farmers have been greatly dis
heartened by the drOuth; they had reR-
son to feel gloomy and depressed and 1t
is foreign TO my purpose, to blame them
for giving way TO a feeling that, under
the circumstances, was unavoidable, but
should abundant rains fall in April, they
can make good crops by putting forth
extra industry and activity in the plant
ing OF their crops. Owing to the fact,
that, taking one year with another, the
average rainfall varies but slightly, we
are likely to have the rain In the spring
and summer that should have fallen dur
ing the past winter, and should this be
the case, farmers will have reason to
look on the drouth as q "blessing In dis
guise" rather than as a calamity as they
were inclined to regard 1t.
1t Is always bad tor men to become
disheartened and discouraged, but 1t Is
especially so with farmers, who have
abundance Of drawbacks without bor-
rowing trouble. The promise has been
made, that seed time and harvest shall
not fail, and that is Q good foundation
for hope to build upon even 10 a time oil
drouth.
Corn and cotton planted In May, will,
In this climate, with suitable rainfall,
yield an abundant crop and gladden. the
hearts of farmers with plenty.
But farmers should profit by the les
sons Of experience, and plough up their
land early in the fall when the ground is
in proper condition. This will enable
them to plant their crops early In the
spring, whether there is rain or not, and
will ensure a fair yield. Land that is
ploughed up In the fall and exposed TO
the rains and frosts Of winter, Is in bet
ter filth than lands ploughed In the
spring. PLoUGHMAN.

Tho Paris Bank Genera,e.

Passing through the Rue de Provence I
was struck by the appearance of the facade
of the Bank Generate, 1t is a wretched look
Ing structure, wholly unworthy tbs vast
business transacted there. Bankers of the
lowest rank would not consent. to-day to
place a million in 1t. The Generate, how
ever, represents $12, 900, 600 capital, the
hopeof making another ~, 900, 900, and 49,
600, 600 of deposits. Can America show any
bank to compare with thatf Suppose some
event should make it necessary for the bank
to liQufiate to its depositors. The line would
form in ron of the cashiers window and
two at a time could be served. It ordinarily
takes twenty-five minutes to pay a depositor
his money and close an account. At that
rate, then, If there are 1000 depositors, two
being received at a time, it would take co.
600 minutes to deal with them.
The bank is open for business eight hours
a day. Let us see: Fifty thousand minutes
Is 1888 hours or 104 business days. Rather
long, If fanny Of the depositors near the end of
the line should be n hurry. But, you may
say the directors would adopt such a plan
of operation that the delay would not be
more than a minute for each depositor. I'm
possible; butzeven at that it would take four
and one tenth days, and the actual number
Of depositors is undoubtedly several times
1900. In the event of a great commercial
disturbance the bank could not possibly
wind up its affairs within the duration of
the crisis. Paris Cor. Philadelphia Times.

DIR. arGIynn Denosed.

New York, Jan. i6-Rev. DIR. McGlynn
received Official notice from the arch
bishop yesterday that he had been
succeeded By Rev. Father Donnellys as
rector OF st. Josephs church. Father
Donnelly made his appearance in the
afternoon and presented his credentials.
The news soon spread and people began
to congregate in excited groups and
discuss the situation. This was
continued all the afternoon and by
evening the excitement had reached
such a pitch that the parishioners de-
termined to hold q mass meeting ct once.
It was determined to hold the meeting
in the basement of st. Joseph's church.
Rarely il ever in Catholic church
was there any excitement to be compar-
ed to that which prevailed at this
meeting. Men, women. boys and girls
thronged the ediice and gave vent TO
their feelings in emphatio language. II
was clear that all loved Mr.. McGlynn
and only words Of sympathy and
affection were spoken tor him.
Mention OF DR.. McG!yEa,a name pro-
voked loud applause, while any reference
to tho archbishop was received with
hIsses. This remarkable spectacle in q
Catholic church continued for q long
time until it was finally proposed to
raise q large sum OF money to send DR..
McC4lyDn to Rome. This movement
will be pnt on foot this week. It is
asserted on good authority that with the
notice Of retirement. Archbishop Cor.
rigsh sent Dir. McGlynn o peremptory
order from the protect OF the propagan-
de- commanding Mc Glynn to go to
Rome at onCe.

New York, Jan. 1.-THE Suns WASH
ington special says: Secretary Bayard
has completed and will send to the
~aenate, 1t is said. early next week, . draft
Of q treaty with China. Briefly, the
treaty provides that the importation Of
Chinese coolies into this country shall
be stopped by means and precautions to
be adopted by both governments with
equai care. Mo American laborers are to
be allowed to enter China. American
merchants and missionaries are to be
fully protected. The Chinise minister
says that his government has come to
recognize that his countrymen will never
adapt themselves to this country, and
will never assimilate with Americans.
Such being the CASE nothing but harm
to both countries can result from their
Constant influx here. and the treaty is
made II the part Of China with the
utmost c~heerfnlness.
The Times sage that the treaty will
not stop immigration from Hong Kong,
which can only be done by the assist
ance of the British government.
